Need help with my unknown chick

[FlowerDragon]

Hello. I got this chick around 6 weeks ago at a chick days. I picked it up from a box of Lakenvelders, but it's obviously not that. Can anyone help me with what it is and the gender? It has a crest and 5 toes.

Wheres the 5 toes? He's probably some hatchery 'designer breed', some sort of 'egger'

Man, 5 toed chicken creep me out... ok, so he could have silkie, faverolle or dorking in him. He's cute, what ever he is, I hope he's a gentleman.

Hatchery bird or local market? Do you know the source of this little mystery?

I think a Silkie rooster must have gotten into their Lakenvelder pen, and this guy is the result. That accounts for the coloring, crest and fifth toe. He isn't any pure breed. Oh, and definitely a cockerel.
